We need an example here.
Kick them out the football program, expel them from HS, and charge them as adults with aggravated battery.
Put them under the jail.
The players used their helmets as a weapon in hitting the coach. That should make it a felony assault charge with time in prison.
But probably enough race cards will be thrown down to keep it as a misdemeanor charge.
“aggravated battery”
Attempted murder, reckless endangerment... so many options.
